Nebaioth, firstborn son of Ishmael; an Arabian tribe associated with Kedar
Nebaioth is the firstborn son of Ishmael and the name of the Arabian tribe descended from him, closely associated with Kedar. The genealogical lists in Genesis 25:13 and 1 Chronicles 1:29 place Nebaioth first among Ishmael's twelve sons. Genesis 28:9 and 36:3 identify Esau's wife Mahalath (Basemath) as a daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth. Isaiah 60:7 envisions the flocks of Nebaioth serving at God's altar, paired with Kedar, reflecting their pastoral, semi-nomadic identity.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Proper noun for the firstborn son of Ishmael and the pastoral Arabian tribe bearing his name. The genealogies (Gen 25:13; 1 Chr 1:29) establish Nebaioth as Ishmael's eldest. Marriage connections appear in Genesis 28:9 and 36:3 where Esau marries into this lineage. Isaiah 60:7 pairs Nebaioth with Kedar as sheep-herding peoples whose flocks will serve in eschatological worship. Spanish 'Nebaiot/Nebayot' and French 'Nebaioth' preserve the name consistently, while the Assyrian form Nabaitai connects to the later Nabataeans, though this identification remains debated. 5×
